SPF: My favorite metal flavor is...

[Opus106]

SPT. Or have you secretly moved to China?

[The new erato]

No banana? Truly a poll that deserves such an option.

[Ataraxia]

It will still be here Friday...maybe...

The banana option is in disguise.

I wonder what the favourite flavours of metals are for those bugs in the book you were (are?) reading.

They like it all.

They like it all.

But what if each had to vote, for only a single flavour, like us?

Heavy.

My first thought was: Why would someone want to eat metal?
My second thought was: What?
Third was: Jeepers, I need to get out more!!

Can someone explain these designations, please?  I listened to my share of (generic?) metal in the 80s, and revisit some from time-to-time now, but I've never understood the different categories.

I'd probably vote for Stoner, if it was and opetion  A lot of fuzz, but a bit more psychedelic.  Most 80s metal never did much for me.

And the Banana is definitely an option.

power is Yngwie Malmsteen masturbatory guitar shredding crap with cheesy vocals, not worth listening to

Surely not completely true!

Sounds like variants on Slayer, Nuclear Assault (with a less talented vocalist), and an unholy mix of Black Sabbath, late 80s Megadeth, and, what Scoprions, all presented in a non-ironic but should have been ironic vein, respectively.  I can handle Death Metal I suppose, though I'm scared to.  What if it made me want to commit suicide, and such, you know, like Ozzy's infamous Suicide Solution did, even though it has nothing to do with the topic?  I think I may just live happily in the 80s when it comes to metal.  I mean, really, what can top Master of Puppets anyway?

Loads.
